Sixty years ago this month,
Kaminski Oldsmobile celebrated the Grand Opening of its new dealership on Henderson Drive. Above is the full-page ad that ran in the
Journal back on November 7, 1962.
Exactly five years earlier, the business had held a Grand Opening at its first location at 2950 Broadway (the former home of Vogt Oldsmobile). Kaminski must have set a goal of a brand new facility in five years, and stuck to it.

| Ad from the Nov. 8, 1957 Journal |
My parents bought their first Olds at the Henderson Drive dealership, launching
a love affair with the brand that lasted right into the 1990s. That car was a 1963 or 1964 F-85.
We had that car well into the 1970s, as it was my dad's work car. I also remember driving it a few times after I had just gotten my license. It had those little
vent windows that were such a nice feature.
Speaking of F-85s, here's a vintage Kaminski ad from the October 3, 1962 Journal for that particular model. It just might have been the ad that made the Bradys an Olds family!
